This is what really happened during the rapper Rob49 shooting that involved French Montana and a number of others.
Recently, Rob49 cleared up the details surrounding the occurrence alongside fellow lyricist French Montana in January that left 10 people injured. Rob49 was among those 10 people shot during the January gathering with Montana in Miami, Florida.
According to reports, the shooting took place outside The Licking restaurant in Miami Gardens, where Rob and Montana were celebrating the release of their single “Igloo.” Early reports suggested it was a music video shoot, but in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, Rob said it was merely a celebratory gathering.
“We were just chilling and we just wanted to perform the song and sh*t and celebrate because it was dropping that night,” Rob said. “So we just went to turn up with him. I saw [reports] that it was a music video and I was like alright I’m not even about to clear that up.”
Rob resurfaced on Instagram back in February with a set of clips showing him with his right arm in a sling and a bandage on his shoulder while hanging out with some friends.
In one of his videos, Rob smoked a blunt while rocking out to one of his songs. Another video showed him hanging out with some kids while they cheered him on in front of the camera.
“U JUMPIN INAT WATER NIGHA U JUST LIKE ME. BIGGEST VULTURE,” he captioned the post.
